# IAM FOR MANUFACTURING ## Verify Trust in Manufacturing Establish and maintain trust across every worker, supplier, machine, and AI agent in your production environment. [Get the Guide](https://hub.pingidentity.com/manufacturing/4378-identity-manufacturing-agentic-ai-era) We work with the world’s top brands ![](https://www.pingidentity.com/content/dam/picr/ind/man/Logo-Strip.svg) The Challenge ## Trust Is Harder to Earn and Easier to Lose ### Shared Access = Shared Risk Frontline workers often use shared devices and credentials, so it’s hard to know who actually performed an action. This turns security, compliance, and visibility into guesswork. ### Attack Surfaces Are Expanding Contractors, suppliers, OEMs, and service providers all need access. But broad permissions, VPNs, and manual processes create unnecessary exposure. ### Machines and AI Need Governance Automation systems, AI agents, and non-human identities now make critical decisions. Without ownership, lifecycle controls, and accountability, they create operational risk. The Solution ## Don’t Assume Trust in Your Operations. Verify It. Manufacturing depends on thousands of interactions happening every minute between people, machines, suppliers, and AI. Ping helps you verify trust continuously, so every access decision is based on real-time identity and context, not assumptions. **Here's how we have your back:** - **Verify at Onboarding:** Establish trust with your employees, contractors, suppliers, and partners before they ever reach production systems. - **Verify All Access:** Continuously evaluate identity, device, site, shift, task, and risk before granting access. - **Verify Your Helpdesk:** Protect support teams and account recoveries from social engineering and impersonation attacks. - **Verify Agents and Machines:** Treat automation systems and AI agents like first-class identities, and govern them with ownership, lifecycle, and auditability. ### Frontline Accountability Without Friction Give every worker individual accountability, even on shared devices, with contextual authentication designed for shift-based operations. ### External Access with Guardrails Give your third-party contractors, OEMs, and service providers time-bound, task-scoped access and delegated administration. ### Verify Every Operational Workflow Continuously evaluate identity, site, device, task, risk, and operational context before allowing sensitive actions. ### Govern Machine & AI Identities Bring machine identities, automation platforms, and AI agents under the same governance model as your workforce. “One of the positive impacts we've seen from our implementation of customer MFA with Ping Protect has been an 88% reduction in fraud, which accounts for millions of dollars saved.” Jeff Johnson Director, Information Technology Security [Read Customer Story](https://www.pingidentity.com/language-masters/en/customer-stories/4159-digikey.html) Millions saved by reducing fraud, which has gone back into the business 82% reduced daily MFA prompts ## Why Ping Identity?
